Building a better spoon

[gender_neutral]

This is a reply to the following Daitu prompt:

While dining at a local restaurant, V and his companions witness an argument between a paunchy noble and a grizzled wizard. The former believes nothing could improve the simple spoon; the latter insists that magic can make anything better, and even a beginning student at Diatu could demonstrate that.

At which point V is promptly singled out for proof, with a substantial bet between the two men on the line.

If V chooses to pursue this opportunity, please respond to this comment when a Better Spoon has been developed for the next stage of this adventure.

Well of course anything could be improved by magic, and V will be asking for a share of the winnings when this is all done. But even without treasure on the line, there is pride. How anyone could be allowed to continue to doubt the might of the arcane was beyond V. Well, this fool would learn, once and for all, that there is no end to what magic - when properly applied - can do.

V would spend the next two days ignoring classes and researching, making sketches, and filling up blank notebooks with notes, and referencing a certain spellbook with a number of irritatingly blank pages near the end.

Finally a result has been had, and V scribed the scroll and tranced for eight hours. When trancing failed to return to V the arcane might needed for a higher level magical item crafting spell, and without sufficient XP to do it as a feat, V brought the newly scribed spell and the designs to the first seemingly competent - should there be any - professor one could find.

Presuming that V got aid with this, rather than being kicked out of the office for attitude and bizarre requests, V would return to the wizard and present this new and improved spoon.
